If it has a SMTA serial tag and the correct transmission top there's not much way to tell if all the other parts added match a SMTA. Six spoke wheels were used into early 400 tractors. I have owned or looked at early 400 tractors with earlier casting dates on some parts than some SMTA tractors. Saw SMTA tractors with every engine from 248 to 281 installed, plus modified engine ones. Saw them with every T/A,rear,axle,bolster housing and wheels from every other tractor that would fit. Saw one sell at auction in Ohio with everything in front of clutch housing SM, bolster, grill and hood included. Several with modified diesel hoods installed. Best I can tell you is to look at the whole package. If the engine is a C-264 and has a serial #, you can see if its in the correct serial # range for a SMTA or the serial # on the tractor, if you can read it. One last piece of information, if the T/A housing casting # ends with R1 its a 95% or better chance it was from a SMTA. Tractor could be okay, Lots of SMTA serial tags only have the number readable, most times with a letter S after number if it came with a T/A.
